IMPORTANT NEW CHANGES TO MICHIGAN PAID SICK LEAVE LAW REQUIREMENTS & NEW MARIJUANA LAWS IN THE WORKPLACE

On September 5, 2018, the Michigan Legislature enacted the initiative called the “Earned Sick Time Act,” which generally required employers to provide paid sick leave to employees.  After the election, the Legislature substantially amended the initiative and renamed it the “Paid Sick Leave Act” (the “Act”). The Act reduces employers’ paid sick leave obligations, completely exempted employers with less than 50 employees from the Act altogether, and eliminated the anti-retaliation provisions of the initiative act.  The Act is expected to take effect in late March or early April of 2019 (i.e., on the 91st day after the final adjournment of the 2018 legislative session).  In response to the amended Act, employers may need to change their leave of absence policies and procedures, their employee handbooks, and their employment contracts in order to ensure they comply with the law.
